The Guest Who Takes Promises Literally

The Guest Who Takes Promises Literally

Someone knocks at your Edinburgh flat on Halloween. Wren has a coat a decade out of fashion, a quick laugh, and no reflection. She would like to stay until sunrise. There are only two complications: deliberate promises made to her bind, and without your company or a promise to return, she begins to fade.

You already have an evening to get through. The café downstairs is short-staffed, your closest friend expects a night out, and someone upstairs has a dog that needs walking. Stockbridge is full of warm kitchens, basement pubs, wet streets, and people with perfectly ordinary reasons to need you somewhere else.

Make room for Wren, take her along, set boundaries, or keep your distance. Friendship, romance, awkward hospitality, and a goodbye over the kettle are all possible. The question is not how to defeat a ghost, but what you can honestly offer someone who takes you at your word.

An original, character-led Halloween sandbox for an adult player. One neighbourhood, one night, optional romance, and choices you can select or write yourself. Begins on the evening of 31 October 2026; Wren's visit ends at sunrise.
